| There were two factories built in Flint during 1951-1953 for building components for the J65 Sapphire jet engine in support of the Korean war. The other one besides this one was north of Coldwater road, that later became a Division of Ternstedt. This view of building #43 that became #05 is facing south-west viewed across Stewart Avenue. The assembly plant was in Chicago, just as the Liberator was built there during World War II. This photo is from Don Bent's book: A Place Called Buick. |

Can anyone help me on the Buick timing belt replacement. I need step by step description of how to do it. Nowhere can I find this guide carefully and I care because I do not want to break the timing belt.
Amazing to see how the plant has changed since the 50's; there was a lot of activity going on back then in order to get everything built.
Yes it is a sad time in Flint these days. Quite a change from the past.
